Civ 7 came out early yesterday. Before I knew it, it was past midnight and I had to fight the urge to play "just one more turn." Did not fare any better today.

Phenomenonal interview with Robert Kazinsky and @seanferrick.bsky.social @trekculture.bsky.social especially when you immediately see how Robert is just as much of a die hard Trekkie. Some really good behind the scenes insights. Need to find a way to get him back into more Trek.

My gosh. Americans are fleeing over to a new TikTok alternative, RedNote, though the Chinese name literally translates to Little Red Book, a not at all subtle reference to the book of Mao his supporters carried during the Communist & Cultural Revolution in China. 🤦‍♂️

Oolong tea beer at a December rooftop in Taipei? Love being back home in Taiwan! #craftbeer #精釀啤酒 #烏龍茶 #tea #oolongtea #Taipei #Taiwan #台北 #台灣

Sure it's iconic, but New York's NYE celebrations are pretty lame compared to fireworks shows across cities like London, Taipei, Sydney, and Hong Kong. It only fits a small viewing audience and all you get is some 30 seconds of confetti.

Happy New Year from Taipei Taiwan! www.instagram.com/reel/DEQA6qL...

Taking the high speed rail from Kaohsiung to Taipei, a distance equivalent to NYC to Fairfax, VA (a bit further out from DC), a ride just 1.5 hours long. Makes American rail infrastructure look like an absolute joke. Lately, it's a miracle if NE Corridor trains even run properly.

Still creepy. #SquidGames #魷魚遊戲 #오징어게임 #Kaohsiung #Taiwan #advertising #高雄 #台灣

Totally bought into Apple's game and found it very satisfying 😅

Good marketing for Squid Games season 2 though pretty darn creepy too.

What a finale! We need more Star Trek Cerrritos! #StarTrek #CerritosStrong

This week’s Star Trek Lower Decks… 😍🥹😂

Having way too much fun with emoji creation in iOS 18.2.

What the...?!

LGR!

How to trigger New Yorkers and Philadelphians at the same time...

Holidays at Grand Central

Been so used to warm t-shirt/light jacket weather in NYC as of late, totally forgot it's late autumn/winter.

A week back on Bluesky and hafta admit, the vibes are good. Seems far more promising than Threads, though still waiting for sports teams and city agencies to migrate over.

Blueshirts looking so much better tonight. #LGR

Great to be back in the Garden (last night) but definitely got some holes to fill if we're gonna be a contender for the Cup this year.

Alright, so we’re really going to try to make BlueSky a thing? I’ll give it another go…

Is there really a market for people who want instant grits for breakfast?

No quit in New York! #LGR #NYR #NoQuitInNY

Was never able to get through a Fallout game but the new TV show was a great watch! Fingers crossed for more to come!

Not a totality in NYC but still an incredible sight to behold! #Eclipse2024 #Eclipse #solareclipse #SolarEclipse2024

B&H might be the only place in the city with solar eclipse glasses available. Queue wraps around the block though it looks like it's quicker to buy on the spot than pick up an online delivery.

Ooh... this Kith x Infatuation x Veniero's collab treat is 🤤! Veniero's cheesecake topped with Golden Graham-infused vanilla ice cream, drizzled with apricot preserves and garnished with a sliced strawberry.

4.8 earthquake out of New Jersey, with reports out of NYC and Philly!

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was a blast! As a fan who grew up to the OG movies and cartoon, this latest sequel did the franchise justice! #Ghostbusters #GhostbustersFrozenEmpire

Tried a new pay by pound, one bowl, "hot pot" spot where you pick whatever ingredients you want, tell them your preferred broth, and they cook it into a giant bowl. Not bad though I'm terrible with Asian spice. 🥵

If this is just for a hockey game, I can't imagine how it'll be for the World Cup. NJ Transit is pretty terrible.

Just tried the Apple Vision Pro and wow, that was an amazing experience. The fit did feel heavy on top of the forehead but the 3D spatial videos felt like being in the future seen in movies.

Not at all thinking of The Last of Us with this menu.... 😬

Also, Christmas decorations have already been quickly swapped for Chinese New Year dragons

Feels like ads in Xinyi District are always for whisky...

Happy New Year from Taipei, Taiwan!

Took several months, but finally got an invite into BlueSky. Let's see what the hubbub is all about.
